Campbell's father -- Luther Campbell -- rose to fame in the late 1980s as member of the rap group 2 Live Crew. The group's 1989 album "As Nasty as They Wanna Be" was deemed to be obscene by a federal judge and outlawed in several Florida counties. He became an outspoken advocate for free speech in the music industry.
In recent years, the elder Campbell has worked as a community activist and written a memoir, which is slated to be adapted into a Hollywood film.
